TNGF
SELECTED
Pope Innocent IV
primary
An elderly man in his late 60s, gaunt and pale from prolonged illness. His face is deeply lined with wrinkles of age and the burdens of the papacy, with sunken cheeks and a prominent aquiline nose. His thin white hair is matted against the pillow with sweat, and his hands are bony with translucent skin showing blue veins.
Cardinal Rinaldo
primary
A senior cardinal in his late 50s, with a gaunt face marked by deep-set eyes and a prominent aquiline nose. His thin lips are pressed tightly together, and his grey-streaked brown hair is cropped short in the clerical tonsure. His hands are long-fingered and delicate, betraying his noble upbringing.
Cardinal Ottaviano
secondary
A man in his late 30s with a lean, almost gaunt frame. His clean-shaven face is pale with anxiety, and his dark eyes dart nervously between the dying pope and Cardinal Rinaldo. Thin lips pressed tightly together betray tension.
Papal Physician
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean, scholarly build, his face lined with the marks of long hours spent in study and service. His dark, intelligent eyes are framed by deep-set wrinkles, and his short, graying beard is neatly trimmed. His hands are clean and precise, accustomed to the delicate work of medicine.
Servant
background
A slender young man in his early twenties, with unkempt brown hair and a gaunt face, his hands slightly calloused from years of labor. His posture is slightly hunched from habit, a subtle sign of his servile status. His eyes are a muted brown, darting nervously between tasks.
